Oh man, I nearly laughed til I cried last night when hubby was telling me about how ticked off the music teacher is at school. Apparently, he has not been able to practice for the Christmas Concert at school. No big deal, right? HUGE deal! They keep taking the kids out of his music class for stupid things, so they have not been able to practice.
The Christmas Concert has traditionally been a HUGE deal at his school - lots of talent and a very well put together show. This year, there's a new principal who seems to think he knows everything. He especially thinks music is a waste of time (don't get me started on administrators who think the arts are secondary to other subjects)
Sooooo... this year, the music teacher has only been able to get the kids together enough to teach them the first 6 days of what their true love gave them. He doesn't have time to teach any more days since the concert is next week and the kids don't even know the first 6 days very well........ so the music teacher said they'll sing "The 12 Days of Christmas Minus Six". Its written in the concert program that way.
OMG, I swear I never heard anything so funny. Just wait til the know-it-all principal gets the phone calls from ticked off parents and has to explain that he thought music practice was a waste of time! :D :p
